The team behind the open source continuous integration tool Travis CI have announced support for Java, Scala and Groovy. TravisCI started with support for Ruby, and soon added support for Erlang, Clojure, Node.js and PHP.
Continuous integration is the principle of committing and integrating source code changes more rapidly, saving integration time down the road. TravisCI is a tool specifically designed for CI for open source teams using GitHub. According to the announcement, TravisCI’s workflow looks like this:
- Clone your repository from GitHub
- (If applicable) pick language/runtime version to use
- Run before_install commands (can be more than one)
- Install dependencies. Travis will try to detect whether project uses Gradle and SBT and run their respective commands, falling back to mvn install. You can override the command using the install key in your .travis.yml.
- Run one or more before_script commands.
- Run the script command, e.g. gradle check or mvn test, falling back to ant test. This too can be overriden in .travis.yml.
- Report the build has finished running.
Other continuous integration tools include Jenkins and IBM Rational Team Concert.
